My recipe for stock oil which i've used for years on my AYA no2 and more recently on my beretta silver pig 1,it is 3 parts artist quality linseed oil to 1 part artist quality PURE turpentine, leave for 8 days before using or applying more oil,lovely job.(just a few drops & rub well in)

I use a third each of artist quality linseed oil, turpentine and beeswax. So, it's a block rather than a liquid. As far as I remember, I found this on the Purdey or Holland and Holland web site - but I can't find it now.

Seems to work well. But I could probably do with a Purdey or Holland and Holland gun, rather than a rather tatty Rizzini.
